In a recent study, a light sheet imaging approach has been proposed (Hartung et al., J. Appl. Phys. B 96 (2009) 843–862) which permits measurement of a quantity Sd∗2D, which is the two-dimensional projection of the actual density-weighted displacement speed Sd∗for turbulent premixed flames. Here the statistics of Sd∗and Sd∗2Dare compared using a direct numerical simulation database of statistically planar turbulent premixed flames. It is found that the probability density functions (pdfs) of Sd∗2Dapproximate the pdfs of Sd∗satisfactorily for small values of root-mean-square turbulent velocity fluctuation u′, though the Sd∗2Dpdfs are wider than the Sd∗pdfs. Although the agreement between the pdfs and the standard-deviations of Sd∗2Dand Sd∗deteriorate with increasing u′, the mean values of Sd∗2Dcorrespond closely with the mean values of Sd∗for all cases considered here. The pdfs of two-dimensional curvature κm2Dand the two-dimensional tangential-diffusion component of density-weighted displacement speed St∗2Dare found to be narrower than their three-dimensional counterparts (i.e. κmand St∗respectively). It has been found that the pdfs, mean and standard-deviation of π/2×κm2Dand π/2×St∗2Dfaithfully capture the pdfs, mean and standard-deviation of the corresponding three-dimensional counterparts, κmand St∗respectively. The combination of wider Sd∗2Dpdfs in comparison to Sd∗pdfs, and narrower St∗2Dpdfs in comparison to St∗pdfs, leads to wider [Formula: see text] pdfs than the pdfs of combined reaction and normal-diffusion components of density-weighted displacement speed Sr∗+Sn∗. This is reflected in the higher value of standard-deviation of [Formula: see text] , than that of its three-dimensional counterpart Sr∗+Sn∗. However, the mean values of [Formula: see text] remain close to the mean values of Sr∗+Sn∗. The loss of perfect correlation between two and three-dimensional quantities leads to important qualitative differences between the [Formula: see text] and Sr∗+Sn∗-κm, and between the Sd∗2D-κm2Dand Sd∗-κmcorrelations. For unity Lewis number flames, the Sd∗-κmcorrelation remains strongly negative, whereas a weak correlation is observed between Sd∗2Dand κm2D. The study demonstrates the strengths and limitations of the predictive capabilities of the planar imaging techniques in the context of the measurement of density-weighted displacement speed, which are important for detailed model development or validation based on experimental data.
